Today for lunch we went to Opa’s appartment with our friends. Every year that our friends come he invites us for lunch. They love it. Me, not so much because it has potatos in it haha!! I loved dessert though.. Of course 😀

After lunch, I took the free seat in the Macfarlanes car and went to Weilheim with them to have a look around. Afterwards, we went to Staffel See and met my cousins and the auntie I still hadn’t met on this holiday. Sadly we couldn’t go on the boats after 5pm 😦 But Sophie and I read our book while others went swimming. We also had dinner in the beer garden.

Our cousins from Switzerland already drove home today… It was so short! But one of them is staying until Friday when my brother will also go to stay with them for a while. I am sad they left so early and we already had to say goodbye but it was lovely to see them.

When we came back to Oma Ritas we played card games and drank banana milk. So delicious!
Now, I am going to sleep:)

P.s tonight has been the first rain in the whole time we’ve been here… And apparently it could get up to 40 degrees on Saturday! So hot!

Today my cousin left Germany to fly back home. I always love it when she comes because we do have a lot of fun. So around noon Oma Rita drove me to Oma Ingrids house so I could be with Katharina and my auntie for a while before they left. While they were getting ready I went for a cycle around Peiting. When I came back Katharina and I done what we love best. Singing and playing guitar. We also ate luncg together. After lunch came a bit of stress trying to make sure the suitcases weren’t too heavy and that everything fitted in. Here we are:

I still had Oma Ritas bike so I ended up taking the train with them but I got off at Hohenpeißenberg and cycled to Oma Ritas. Wow.. Itsl is almost all up hill and its safe to say I collapsed into a chair when I got home. This is just when I wish I didn’t have athsma because I love cycling and it is harder having to stop a lot to take my inhaler but It gives me a sense of achievement when I’ve done it so I am glad:)
After saying my goodbyes I came back to my cousins and we went up Hohenpeißenberg for ice cream. After that epic cycle I was no way going to walk up so I just walked down afterwards which wad fun:)
Magdalena and I:

When we came home we ate dinner and went down to the lake for an evening swim and to see the sunset. Which is what I love. We had a bit of trouble with Oma Rita trying to take pictures 😀 but a randomer helped us so its all good!:D

I am sure that today it hit 30 degrees. It was so so hot!! We had to go to a lake to cool down and we also played volley ball I am surprised I didn’t become burned from the heat.

We were at the lake for hours. Timmy, Sammy and I swam right across to the other side of the lake. It was just the right tempreture. We played Volley ball for a while and some kids joined in with us. There were 7 of us and 3 or them and I am embaressed to say that I think they were much better than us put together 😀 it was a lot of fun and they tought us how to belt the ball proparly. Its so sore if you play for too long. We also played basket ball and ate ice crem. The slabs are so hot to walk across. Shoes are needed.

In the evening our friends and their cousins, auntie and uncle joined us at Oma Ritas for dinner. As always it was delicious. We all walked down to the lake and also playef hide and seek in the dark. It is all the more fun in the dark 😀
Now I am so so tired. My eyes are half closed as I write this. Tomorrow is meant to be roasting too!!

Today we went to Staffel See. On Sundays there is nothing open so the lakes are pretty busy. First of all I read some more of my book in the sun. it was boiling today too.. 🙂 After a while I decided to take the paddle boat and go on a boat trip round the island. It is so pretty there!
I actually went twice. Once with my auntie and my uncles girlfriend and then also with brother. I love these boats!! I think its so much fun to paddle.. We figured out after a while that its better just one person paddling. As I was enjoying it so much I paddled most of the time and then my brother also wanted a shot haha! I hope I can go back there and go on the boat again with more people:-) Afterwards, we also went into the Beer garden right near by. We ate dinner there. Then, I came back to Oma Ingrids for ‘Kaffee und kuchen’ (coffee & cake) and Katharina and I also took some pictures in Oma’s garden.

Tomorrow our friends from Inverness are flying to join us in Germany and also their cousins. I am excited to see them but it will also been 8 more people to try and keep happy with activities we do:D it should be super fun though!! we have to stay at oma Ingrids until around midnight to give our friends and their cousins the key for the guest houses they are staying at.

Today I thought, was especially warm. Getting close to 30 degrees. I say to people that I will not be impressed until it hits 30. I remember last year, I was in Munich. In the city. Around lunch time, the worst time for heat. And I think to remember it was 35/40 degrees. Seriously unbearable. 30 is good though. Now, if you are Becca, Peta or Rachael you will laugh at this. Tonight it began to get colder. Now when I say colder I mean 19 degrees. I actually put a jacket on.. At 19 degrees… I am usually a human heater 😀 I guess I have gotten used to the German tempretures and now what would be warm in Scotland is cold for me. I have heard of the heat wave in Inverness though!:)

So today we went into Weilheim for a little while before heading to a lake. I bought a salt spray. Sounds weird right? Well apparently after you have been swimming you apply it to your hair to give you beautiful beach waves. I tried it an I am very pleased 😀
After the lake we headed in search of Ice Cream. We came to my favorite Ice Cream parlor in Peisßenberg. Delicious.
In the evening some of us went to a Beergarden. Timmy, Dad and I ate dinner there and Oma and Opa just had something to drink. It was nice:) I also read quit a lot of my book. I am at a really ‘spannend’ part of my book right now. I can’t think of the English word but really exciting and not knowing whats going to happen and all that haha! Oh by the way, I am reading Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. So good! If you haven’t read it, you should! Even though I’m only half way though it my brother of course has already finished it and he loved it so thats a good sign too;)
Anyway, I will leave you with a couple pictures:

Look how cute Timmys ice cream is… He only wanted one haha!

And Katharina never fails to choose the prettiest of ice creams 🙂 yum!!

Today Katharina cut my hair. Now.. it was getting way to long so she cut it and I love it:-) it always feels so nice when your hair is fresh.

believe me, that took a while and we decided that the lakes were calling us. So we journeyed of to Weileim to my favorite lake where I did try to tan but that failed miserably because I am as pale as anything and I just can not tan. It’s impossible.

We came back then for dinner at Oma Ingrids and also played a bit of uno:-)

As you can tell by the lateness of this post that today was a busy day. The mornings are always nice and relaxed so I spent some time writing my journal and reading my book.

We then went to pick berries with Oma:-) Afterwards we picked Katharina up and done a bit of shopping where I found a bag for €5!! seriously, in Germany that’s amazing.. everything is normally super expensive here!

We then met the other Oma and went to a delicious ice cream parlor.

looks amazing right?!
We had a last minute decision of Katharina staying with us at Oma Rita’s for the night because she cut Timmy’s hair and she is cutting mine tomorrow.

She also gave me some lovely gifts!

Katharina and I took a trip to the lake. It was so beautiful there. We did question swimming but by that time we were cold. We came back around 10pm but it felt much later! The water was surprisingly warm for the night. That was probably because we were so cold outside the water.

Today my Dad and I went down to check out the new lake they were working on when we were here in the Summer. It’s almost finished. They just want to make a place to play Volley Ball. We went back up to Oma Ritas and she make me Pfannen Kuchen suppe. Which is pancake soup. Now everyone will be say “ewwww, yuck!!” but it’s something that is normal over here and it’s so yummy!! As you can see in the 3rd picture we left the men and decided to go shopping. I bought presents for people and one of them I really want but I can’t have it 😦 We went to a place called Kempten which has a shopping with 3 floors and loads of shops. It’s good to go somewhere where we have none of the shops otherwise it’s just the same all the time. In the evening we went to a Bavarian restaurant for my Uncle’s birthday. I had something called Kasespatzen. It’s got lots of cheese. We had a good day:)
